just might lead you to a new love (other than your iPhone 4, of
course), thanks to cupidtino.com. The site is only
one in a string of niche online-dating ventures that attempt to
prove there really is someone out there for everyone.

CUPIDTINOStrapline: "Meet an Apple fanboy or

design manager who converted to the cult of Mac "in November 2002,
with the first generation iPod 20GB."

counsellor who likes "challenges, contradicitions [sic] and
integrity" and is scared of "not realising my full potential".

"sehlat" or "tribbles" for pets.Miss Popularity: Cookinbubbles, a conservative
yet fun-loving 56-year-old widow who wants someone "who doesn't
think I am weird because I actually know what the prime directive
is, who knows what Babylon 5 was and which Star Trek character had
a part in it."

funnily serious) way for gamers to meet others that share the same
interest"Site specific: Indicate what sex you are "in real
life" and describe your "ideal in-game date".Mr Popularity: Donnydorko, a 22-year-old
